Young Master Kuang Forgot He Was a Guest; One Strike Leveled Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers!
The ball changed direction, bounced off the ground and flew over the right shoulder of Jordan goalkeeper Shafi into the net.
1:0!
Hong Kong Stadium The crowd of 40,000 people exploded instantly: cheers, applause, and screams mixed together, and Hong Kong fans in the east stand almost jumped from their seats.
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in! Zhang Kuang's header! In the 12th minute, Hong Kong Team leads 1:0!
Another corner kick, another assist from Cris Kang, and another goal from Zhang Kuang! This is Zhang Kuang's 15th goal this time for World Cup qualifiers! He is far ahead of the second place in the scorer list, not just a little bit ahead, but a cliff-edge lead."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, yes, far ahead. Zhang Kuang's movement on this ball was very smart. He stood in the front, and Bashar thought he was going to retreat, but he moved forward. Bashar reacted a beat slower, and Zhang Kuang grabbed the landing spot. This movement is world-class."
Chung Chi-kwong: "It's in! It's in! Zhang Kuang! Header! Hong Kong Team 1:0 lead! Cris·Kang's corner kick assist, Zhang Kuang's header, all in one go, so beautiful!"
Wong Hing-kwai: "Wow, this goal is a textbook! Zhang Kuang rushed forward to grab the position, but Bashar couldn't keep up at all. And, you see, Jordan goalkeeper Shafi didn't react at all. Zhang Kuang's header was too fast and accurate!"
Zhang Kuang did not run wildly to celebrate, but just ran to the corner flag area and high-fived Cris Kang.
Then he turned around and applauded the fans.
Jordan Team's players stood there with confused expressions.
They were once again tortured by Zhang Kuang, which was really unpleasant.
Bashar Bani Yassin lowered his head and his face was ashen. He could have prevented the header, but he was half a beat too slow.
Fans on the MyScore platform are already completely excited:
"It's in, it's in! Zhang Kuang! It's Zhang Kuang again! Corner kick header! It's too strong!"
"This is the value of the world's number one shooter! You can score a goal with a maximum of two shots!"
"Bashar, what kind of defense is that? Zhang Kuang directly pressed me and grabbed the spot, and I couldn't guard it at all!"
"Jordan Team's mentality is about to collapse. He conceded the ball in the first 12 minutes and will not be able to play the rest of the game."
"Hong Kong Team's corner kick tactic is very clear. Zhang Kuang stands in front, Cris is in the back, and then Zhang Kuang suddenly cuts forward, completely disrupting Jordan Team's defensive arrangement."
"..."
In the 14th minute, Jordan Team did not rush to attack after the restart, but patiently conducted the ball in the midfield.
Anas·Haji retreated to get the ball and distributed it to Mustafa·Abu·Ain on the right.
Mustafa dribbled the ball to the front of Hong Kong Team's penalty area. Facing Leung Chun-pong's defense, he did not choose to break through, but passed the ball across to Ahmed·Hayel.
Hayel took a long shot from outside the penalty area and the ball flew towards the lower right corner of the goal. Fan Chun-yip flew to save and held the ball firmly.
He Wei: "Jordan Team's long shot, Fan Chun-yip holds it firmly! Jordan Team's offensive method today is mainly long shots and crosses from the side, but Fan Chun-yip's position today is very good, without any loopholes."
Zhang Lu: "If Jordan Team wants to score Hong Kong Team's goal, it must have more delicate coordination and cannot just rely on long shots.
Because Hong Kong Team's two central defenders: Chan Wai-ho and Shane·Lowry are very capable of high ball contention, it is difficult for Jordan Team's cross to pose a threat."
Chung Chi-kwong: "Fan Chun-yip flew to the rescue and firmly caught Jordan Team's long shot. Jordan Team's attack method today is indeed relatively simple, long shot or cross, which is not difficult for Fan Chun-yip."
Wong Hing-kwai: "Yes, Jordan Team needs more changes. If they only rely on these two methods, it will be difficult to break through Fan Chun-yip's ten-finger barrier.
Hong Kong Team's defensive organization is very compact. Leung Chun-pong and Jack·Xu's double midfielders blocked the middle, making it difficult for Jordan Team to find the passing route."
In the 18th minute, Jordan Team won a corner kick. Hassan Abdul Fattah took the penalty and the ball flew to the center of the penalty area.
Anas Haji jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal, but the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Chan Wai-ho.
Jordan Team continued to attack. Mustafa·Abu·Ain got the ball on the right side of the penalty area and passed it. The ball flew towards the penalty area again.
Shane·Lowry headed the ball to make a clearance.
He Wei: "Jordan Team made two consecutive passes, but they were both cleared by Hong Kong Team. Jordan Team's corner kick tactics are more direct, which is to hit the penalty area.
But Hong Kong Team's two central defenders were very tough today, and Jordan Team's header advantage could not be used."
Zhang Lu: "Jordan Team's offense is indeed a bit monotonous. Look at their few attacks, they are all crosses from the wing or high ball bombing, without any penetration from the middle.
This style of play may be effective if played against shorter defenders, but Chan Wai-ho and Shane·Lowry are all central defenders with strong heading ability, so it will be difficult for Jordan Team to play like this."
MyScore platform:
"Jordan Team This offense is too monotonous, isn't it? It's all crosses, Hong Kong Team The two central defenders are not short, how can we play like this?"
"Jordan Team lacks a center who can take the ball. Although Anas Haji can steal the header, he lacks the ability to take the ball with his back. It is difficult for him to create a threat by himself."
"I think Jordan Team should try more long-range shots. Hong Kong Team's defensive midfielder is positioned relatively forward. There is space at the top of the penalty area and he can take a kick."
"Hong Kong Team defended very well today, Jordan Team found it difficult to score a goal."
"..."
In the 22nd minute, Zhang Kuang received a through ball from Zheng Shaowei on the left, and after getting the ball, he faced Jordan's right back Mohammed·Amin.
He did not rush to start, but stabilized the ball, waited for Amin to pounce, shook the opponent away with a simple change of direction, and then cut in from the left.
Bashar's defense was in place, Zhang Kuang did not continue to dribble, but knocked the ball horizontally to Cris Kang who was inserted in the middle.
Cris·Kang took a long shot, but the ball was confiscated by Jordan goalkeeper Shafi.
He Wei: "Zhang Kuang's breakthrough was very beautiful. He changed direction and shook Amin away, cut inside, and then hit Cris Kang horizontally. The latter's long shot was confiscated. Hong Kong Team's offensive rhythm is getting faster and faster, and Jordan Team's defense is starting to have some difficulty."
Zhang Lu: "Zhang Kuang handled this ball very smartly. He did not force the shot, but chose to hit it horizontally, because Cris Kang's long-range shooting ability is very strong, and he was in a better position at the time. This reflects Zhang Kuang's vision and awareness as a world-class forward."
In the 24th minute, Jordan Team stole the ball in the midfield. Hassan Abdul Fattah poked the ball away at the feet of Cris Kang, and then quickly distributed it to Mustafa·Abu Ain on the right.
Mustafa advanced with the ball. Facing Poon Yiu-cheuk's defense, he chose to cut inside and then took a long shot.
The ball hit Leung Chun-pong's leg and bounced out.
He Wei: "Jordan Team launched a counterattack after stealing the ball. Mustafa's long shot hit Leung Chun-pong's leg and bounced out! Jordan Team began to increase the pressure in the midfield, which shows that their tactics began to become more active."
Zhang Lu: "Jordan Team must increase their pressing, otherwise they will be led by Hong Kong Team throughout the game. But this also brings risks. Once they cannot grab it, all the space behind them will belong to Zhang Kuang."
In the 27th minute, Zheng Shaowei took the ball from the left and cut inside, shook away Jordan's right back Mohammed·Amin and then passed across the middle.
Zhang Kuang caught the ball in the middle. Facing Jordan defender Omar Mahmoud, he did not choose to break through, but adjusted his step point and started directly 28 meters away from the goal!
The ball shot out from Zhang Kuang's feet like a cannonball, with a slight inner arc, and hit the upper right corner of Jordan's goal.
Jordan Goalkeeper Shafi responded this time, but the speed of the ball was too fast. He only had time to wave his arm when he flew to save the ball. The ball had already rubbed the lower edge of the crossbar and entered the net.
2:0!
He Wei: "Go in, go in, go in, the ball goes in again, it's still Zhang Kuang! Twenty-eight meters, no run-up, no adjustment, just one kick - thunderous!"
Jordan Goalkeeper Shafi has already flown out! But what he encountered was just an inward-turning shadow and a gust of wind! This is an unreasonable goal! This is a shot that only Zhang Kuang dares to choose!
He doesn't need fancy tricks to prove himself! He only needs this kick to tell you: what is the world's top shooter!
Watching this ball can make people feel a kind of momentum: suddenly there is a sound of cracking stones in the green grass, and thousands of horses are shocked. The crazy young man does not know that he is a guest, and the mountains and rivers are thousands of miles flat with his feet.
Zhang Kuang! A decisive move! Hong Kong Team 2:0 to expand the lead! Now Jordan Team is in even more trouble."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, your poem is well said, it's really refreshing. However, this ball is also played very delicately. Zhang Kuang Because Omar Mahmoud stood a little further forward, Zhang Kuang immediately seized the gap. The power, angle, and speed of this ball are world-class."
Chung Chi-kwong: "Hey! 28-meter long shot! Straight into the blind corner! Zhang Kuang! This wave is so... so sharp! Jordan The goalkeeper just waved his hand and there was nothing he could do! 2:0!"
Wong Hing-kwai: "Wow, this long-range shot is simply a violent aesthetic! Zhang Kuang From catching the ball to kicking off, the whole process was done in one go. Omar Mahmoud had no time to block it. Jordan Although goalkeeper Shafi missed it, the speed and angle of the ball were so perfect! 2:0!"
Zhang Kuang After scoring the goal, he immediately rushed to the corner flag area, jumped, then turned around, swiped down hard with both hands, and roared.
All the fans went crazy, and the DJ shouted Zhang Kuang's name excitedly through the speakers.
Fans on the MyScore platform were also completely blown away:
"Damn it, the 28-meter long shot went straight into the blind spot! This is a world wave!"
"Zhang Kuang This long shot was so fierce that I didn't even see the ball clearly before it went in!"
"Jordan goalkeeper has nothing to do, no one can save this ball!"
"Zhang Kuang is in full form today! Two goals! Can the hat trick be far behind?"
"This is the strength of the world's number one shooter! Hitting Jordan is like hitting a child!"
"Yes, yes, that's the smell. I just like this smell. The powerful long shot. I really like the powerful long shot of Zhang Kuang. Every time I see it, I tremble all over and I can't help it!"
"Why can't you help it? Brother, you won't hit Zhang Kuang... right?"
"Fuck, I can't."
"Then what can't you resist?"
"I won't tell you."
"..."
Jordan Coach Adnan Hamad stood on the sidelines, his face ashen.
He turned around and rubbed his face, but there was nothing he could do.
Jordan Team After the restart, the midfield press was obviously strengthened.
They fought more fiercely in the midfield, trying to break Hong Kong Team's rhythm through physical confrontation.
But Hong Kong Team's defense stood firm, Leung Chun-pong's interception in the midfield was like a wall, and Jordan Team's passes were repeatedly cut off.
In the 32nd minute, Mustafa·Abu·Ain got the ball on the right. Facing the defense of Poon Yiu-cheuk, he cut inside and shot long distance, but the ball missed the far post.
He Wei: "Mustafa's long shot missed! Jordan Team tried a lot of long shots today, but the quality was not high."
Zhang Lu: "Jordan Team really needs to try a long shot, but their problem is that the quality of the long shot is so poor that it hardly threatens Fan Chun-yip's goal. This shot is already their best shot, but it still went wide."
In the 35th minute, Jordan Team forward Hamza·Dawood landed unstable during a scramble and sprained his left ankle.
He struggled on the court for a while and then fell to the ground.
After the team doctor entered the field, the team doctor briefly treated him on the sidelines, and he chose to continue playing.
He Wei: "Hamza·Dawood fell to the ground. His expression was a little painful, and the old injury on his left ankle seemed to have recurred. The team doctor is checking to see if he can continue to persevere."
Zhang Lu: "Dawood's injury is a bit dangerous. He was originally injured to start. If his ankle can't hold up, Jordan Team will have to be replaced, and their offensive firepower will be even weaker."
Chung Chi-kwong: "Hamza·Dawood fell to the ground and the team doctor came in. It turned out that his old ankle injury had recurred. If he can't continue the game, Jordan Team will have to be replaced, which will make their offensive power even weaker."
Wong Hing-kwai: "Yes, Dawood's injury was not easy to deal with. Troussier mentioned before the game that Jordan Team had an injured person. It's really troublesome for them."
Dawood chose to continue to persevere after being examined by the team doctor.
He stood up and stretched his ankles, then ran back onto the field. But his running posture was obviously a little stiff and his speed was also much slower.
The audience gave him warm applause!
In the 39th minute, Jordan Team quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball in the midfield. Hassan Abdel Fattah passed the ball straight to Talal Abu Al Salam who came in from the left.
Salam dribbled the ball along the wing. Facing the defense of Lee Chi-ho, he chose to pass down the bottom line.
The ball flew towards Anas Haji in the penalty area. Haji headed the ball towards the goal, but was held firmly by Fan Chun-yip.
He Wei: "Jordan Team's counterattack, the cross was caught by Fan Chun-yip. Jordan Team's offensive method today is indeed relatively simple, long shots and crosses, but Fan Chun-yip's position and reaction are very good, it is difficult for Jordan Team to find opportunities to score."
Zhang Lu: "Jordan Team's counterattack speed is actually not slow, but they are always a little behind in the final pass. Look at this pass, although Anas Haji grabbed the landing point, but it was too straight and lacked strength. Fan Chun-yip hugged it without any pressure."
In the 41st minute, Hong Kong Team stole the ball in the backcourt. After Jack Xu took the ball, he did not rush to play the ball. Instead, he waited for a few seconds. When Jordan Team's formation began to press forward, he made a long diagonal pass to Li Weilian who was inserted on the right.
Li Weilian stopped the ball and advanced along the sideline at high speed. Facing the defense of Jordan left back Talal Abu Al Salam, he chose to cut in and then cross the center.
Cris Kang got the ball in the middle. Facing the defense of Jordan defender Bashar, he made a fake move to get away from the angle, and then took a shot.
The ball hit Bashar's leg and bounced out of the baseline.
He Wei: "Cris·Kang's shot was blocked by Bashar! Hong Kong Team's attack was very threatening. Cris·Kang's fake move shook Bashar away, but the shot was blocked. Corner kick."
Zhang Lu: "This cooperation is very smooth. Li Weilian cut in and passed crosswise. Cris·Kang's fake move shook Bashar away, but the shot was a little weak and was blocked.
However, this is still a very threatening attack from Hong Kong Team, and Jordan Team's defense is beginning to be tired of dealing with it."
Cris·Kang walked to the corner flag area and took the corner kick.
The ball flew towards the center of the penalty area. Zhang Kuang once again grabbed the spot and headed the ball towards the goal. However, the ball was saved by Jordan goalkeeper Shafi and bounced out of the baseline.
He Wei: "Zhang Kuang's header was saved by Shafi! For the second consecutive corner kick, Zhang Kuang is still the most threatening point! Jordan Team's defense is already very nervous!"
Zhang Lu: "Jordan Team's current problem is very serious. Zhang Kuang poses a threat every corner kick. Jordan Team's defensive pressure is too great.
And you see, Jordan Team's players have begun to get a little emotional. Bashar made some big moves when defending Cris Kang just now, and the referee gave him a warning."
MyScore platform:
"Zhang Kuang This header was saved again! Jordan The goalkeeper is in good shape today, otherwise he would have scored a hat trick."
"Jordan Team is so nervous now. Every time Zhang Kuang gets the ball, their entire defense is shouting."
"Zhang Kuang was a huge threat every time he touched the ball today. Jordan Team has to find a way."
In the 44th minute, Jordan Team quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball in the midfield. Ahmed·Hayel passed the ball straight to Mustafa·Abu·Ain on the right.
Mustafa dribbled the ball along the wing. Facing Poon Yiu-cheuk's defense, he chose to pass down the bottom line.
The ball flew towards Anas Haji in the penalty area. Haji failed to catch the landing spot under Chan Wai-ho's close defense, and the ball flew out of the baseline.
He Wei: "Jordan Team's counterattack pass, Anas Haji failed to catch the landing point under the defense of Chan Wai-ho, and the ball flew out of the baseline.
Jordan Team is at a disadvantage today in the golf ace competition. Chan Wai-ho and Shane·Lowry are too strong in ace competition."
Zhang Lu: "Anas Haji actually tried his best, but Chan Wai-ho's positioning was so good that Haji was completely suppressed. If Jordan Team wants to score, I'm afraid he can only use long shots or set kicks."
Chung Chi-kwong: "Anas Haji was completely suppressed by Chan Wai-ho, and the ball flew out of the baseline. Chan Wai-ho was in very good condition today, and his ability to compete for the top completely suppressed Jordan Team's forward."
Wong Hing-kwai: "Yeah, Chan Wai-ho has a very strong ability to compete for the top. Haji can't get the ball at all. If Jordan Team wants to score, I'm afraid he can only rely on long shots or set kicks."
1 minute of added time in the first half.
Jordan Team launched the last attack. Hassan Abdul Fattah took the ball in the midfield and shot from a long distance. The ball missed the far post.
Subsequently, the referee Hilali blew the half-time whistle.
The score was 2:0, Hong Kong Team entered the locker room with a two-goal advantage.
